    I knew Troy from fastpitch softball. I sponsored two teams over 3 yrs and sadly learned on 11/8/2020 of Troy passing.Troy was a solid competitor and loved the game. Troy will play his best games with our holy father in Heaven. Lowell King played a role at his services and it was Lowell that kept me in the game for 2 last seasons.

  2. John McMullen says

    Dear Troy,
    If you find your place in the world, a place where you make a real difference to those around you
    Then you have found wealth beyond imagination

    To appreciate beauty, to always find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better
    Whether by a child, a garden spot, or a redeemed social condition
    To know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived
    This is to have succeeded

    If these two thoughts are true, then Troy, you were the richest, most successful person I’ve ever known. I thank you Troy for always choosing to see the best in me. I love you and I am assured I will see you again one of these days.
    Your nephew, John

  6. Alyse Way says

    So go and run free with the angels
    Dance around the golden clouds
    For the lord has chosen you to be with him
    And we should feel nothing but proud
    Although he has taken you from us
    And our pain a lifetime will last
    Your memory will never escape us
    But make us glad for the time we did have
    Your face will always be hidden
    Deep inside our hearts
    Each precious moment you gave us
    Shall never, ever depart
    So go and run free with the angels
    As they sing so tenderly
    And please be sure to tell them
    To take good care of you for me

    My brothers and I grew up with our cousin Troy and his sisters. He was always a kind and loving man. I hadn’t seen Troy for many years, but he will leave a huge vacancy in our family. Much love to his family and friends. He is in God’s hands now.

  8. Richard Santiago says

    Welcomed a large fraternity of like minded softball purists to share the same color Jersey as his. That encompassed more than just driving from one patch of dirt to another. A genuine family culture and feeling to compete with him. Fiercely competitive when on the field, genuinely compassionate and deeply caring when off. Laughed well and often, grateful to have met and known him. Competed against him in late 1979, recall glancing at my jersey looked up at his and was struck by the thought, Murph we are both wearing the wrong color jerseys Heavy hearted at his passing, going to be tough saying so long, to my teammate for life and friend. God Bless and keep his family Safe and Well.

    Troy was a fine man, and Uncle. I hadn’t seen him in a lot of years, but loved and respected him.
